Wardrobe basics are such great sews, and this one I know I will get a lot of distance in wearing it. I wear a lot of black, so black layering pieces are really nice to have. This one can work for all seasons. I am wearing it under a cardigan I made, but it will work great alone as a casual dress in the summer.
I used heavy bamboo lycra from Nature’s Fabrics for the dress.
This was my own pattern. I used it for a dress I made last summer, so no new drafting on this one.
It was pretty straight-forward for construction. I tend to top-stitch everything with a lightning bolt stitch. The finish is so much better that way.
I did make the keyhole less deep on this one, since the last one I did showed my bra too often. This should work well, though.
Now onto a fun filled weekend of sports! I made these yesterday for a volleyball tournament this weekend for my daughter’s team. Now hopefully they do well!
